Processing image data of a webpage

ABSTRACT

A request for a webpage is received at a server associated with a website and from a terminal device, where the webpage includes an image, and where the server stores a first set of HyperText Markup Language (HTML) code that is associated with the webpage. The image is divided into a plurality of sub-images. A second set of HTML code associated with the webpage is determined, where the second set of HTML code includes code corresponding to each sub-image. The second set of HTML code is transmitted to the terminal device for sequential display of each sub-image on the terminal device.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the field of information technologies, and in particular, to a data processing method and device.

BACKGROUND

Development of the information-based society is accompanied with people's increasing dependency on network. Moreover, as mobile intelligent terminal devices develop, people are more likely to execute services by using the mobile intelligent terminal devices (such as mobile phones and tablet computers; referred to as terminal devices for short).

Generally, when a browser of a terminal device is used for browsing a web page, if there is an image on the web page, the terminal device can display the image on the web page only after running the code corresponding to the web page by using the browser and loading the image. This is why when a person browses the web page by using the browser in the terminal device, text on the web page is first displayed and the image on the web page is displayed later. When the user is waiting for the image to display, the browser of the terminal device is actually loading the image on the web page. When the image on the web page occupies large space (in other words, a size of the image is large), the browser may load a larger volume of data during the loading operation, and can take longer time to load. In addition, as an image serves as a whole data to be loaded, only after all data of the image is loaded, the browser of the terminal device can display the image accordingly.

Based on the description above, it can be seen that the terminal device takes more time to load a larger image. As a result, the user may incorrectly identify a web page loading error and attempt to reload the web page repeatedly. As such, network running load and terminal device running load both increase, web page browsing experience of the user is deteriorated, and the user is less interested in browsing the web page.

To alleviate this problem, in the existing technology, an image on a web page is divided into a plurality of sub-images that occupy smaller space, and each sub-image is written into the code of the web page. As such, when opening the web page, the browser of the terminal device does not need to load the entire image to display content of the image, but displays image content corresponding to a sub-image that has been loaded. In other words, when a user uses the terminal device to browse the web page, the image on the web page is displayed part by part (that is, the sub-images are sequentially displayed on the web page). As a sub-image occupies small space, the sub-image is loaded relatively fast, and the user can quickly view partial content of the image (namely, content of the sub-image), thereby alleviating a case that the user incorrectly identifies a web page loading error, and further alleviating repeated loading of the web page by the user, and improving the user's web page browsing experience.

Generally, a process of loading the image of the web page by the browser of the terminal device is as follows: First, a loading address (for example, a server address) of the image is recorded in a HyperText Markup Language (HTML)<img> tag of the web page provided by a web page server. When a browser of any terminal device loads code of the HTML web page and runs to the <img> tag, the browser of the terminal device can send an invoking request to a server corresponding to the image loading address based on the image loading address recorded in the <img> tag, so that the server corresponding to the image loading address can return corresponding data (namely, the image), and the browser can render the received image to the web page by using the <img> tag, then the user can eventually view the image.

In addition, in the existing technology, sub-images on a web page are stored in a content delivery network (CDN) to alleviate device running load, in other words, the sub-images can be stored in different servers. Therefore, the addresses of the sub-images recorded in <img> tags in HTML code of the web page can be addresses of different servers.

Further, each time the terminal device initiates an invoking request is a process of establishing a communication channel. The process of establishing a communication channel consumes a large quantity of electric energy resources of the terminal device (in other words, establishing a communication channel is an operation with high electric power consumption, and causes much higher electric power consumption). However, in the existing technology, because an image on a web page is generally divided into a plurality of sub-images, each sub-image's invoking request needs to be initiated separately, that is, each communication channel needs to be established, for each sub-image when the terminal device browses the web page. Moreover, because the sub-images can be stored in different servers, the terminal device may further need to send invoking requests to a plurality of servers.

It can be seen that, a web page image loading method in the existing technology causes a sharp increase of electric power consumption of a terminal device, resulting in a shorter use time of the terminal device and affecting use efficiency of the terminal device.

SUMMARY

Implementations of the present application provide a data processing method, to reduce a problem in the existing technology that after an image on a web page is divided into a plurality of sub-images, a terminal device needs to send an invoking request for each sub-image, increasing electric power consumption of the terminal device and affecting use efficiency of the terminal device.

DESCRIPTION OF IMPLEMENTATIONS

To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the following clearly and comprehensively describes the technical solutions of the present application with reference to the specific implementations and the corresponding accompanying drawings of the present application. Apparently, the described implementations are some rather than all of the implementations of the present application. All other implementations obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the implementations of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The technical solutions provided by the implementations of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates a data processing process, according to an implementation of the present application. The process includes the following steps:

S101: Receive a request that is dedicated for a web page and sent by a terminal device.

In the existing technology, a web page is generally compiled by using HyperText Markup Language (HTML) code. In addition, after receiving a request that is dedicated for the web page and sent by a terminal device, a server can return HTML code of the web page to the terminal device based on the request, so that the terminal device can display the web page after receiving the HTML code of the web page.

Therefore, same as the existing technology, in this implementation of the present application, a server can receive the request sent by the terminal device that is dedicated for the web page.

Because the web page can include an image, the data in the present application can be data corresponding to the image. In addition, the server receives the request dedicated for the web page, and therefore the image can be an image on the web page, that is, an image displayed on the web page. The server can be one standalone device, or a system constituted by a plurality of devices. When the server is a system constituted by a plurality of devices, a device receiving the request dedicated for the web page and a device storing the image included by the web page can be different devices.

Further, the data processing method described in the present application is dedicated for an image on a web page. Thus, in the present application, the web page can include at least one image. In addition, for ease of subsequent description, an example in which the web page includes only one image is used for illustration in the present application.

For example, assume that server A of a certain website is configured to receive a request that is dedicated for a web page, of a terminal device, and return corresponding HTML code of the web page based on the received request. Therefore, server A can store HTML code of several web pages and each image included by each web page. Further, assume that server A receives a request dedicated for web page a sent by a terminal device. For ease of description and illustration, subsequently, an example in which server A stores code of only web page a, and web page a includes only image x, is used for illustration.

S102: Determine HTML code of the web page.

In this implementation of the present application, after receiving the request that is dedicated for the web page and sent by the terminal device, because the server stores HTML code of all web pages, the server can determine the HTML code of the web page corresponding to the request based on the request, the server can conveniently send the HTML code of the web page to the terminal device afterwards.

However, the web page further includes an image. Therefore, the server can process the image on the web page, to implement reduced resource consumption (namely, lower electric power consumption) needed by the terminal device for loading the web page. When the server is a system constituted by a plurality of devices, the HTML code of the web page and the image on the web page can be stored by different devices. Therefore, the device storing the image on the web page processes the image on the web page. Subsequently, one server is used as an execution body for ease of unified description. In other words, the server receiving the request that is dedicated for the web page and sent by the terminal device stores both the HTML code of the web page and the image included by the web page.

The server providing the web page can first divide the image on the web page into several sub-images by using a method same as that in the existing technology, to facilitate subsequent operations. As such, when loading the image on the web page, the terminal device can display the image on the web page without a need to wait until all data of the entire image is loaded.

In addition, because an image cannot be directly written into HTML code, the server can further generate code corresponding to each sub-image based on the sub-images. As such, the code corresponding to each sub-image can be conveniently written into the HTML code of the web page afterwards.

For each sub-image obtained by dividing the image in step S101, the server generates Base64 code corresponding to the sub-image based on the sub-image through a Base64 encoding method, and uses the Base64 code as code corresponding to the sub-image. In addition, the sub-image and the code are in one-to-one mapping relationship. In other words, different images are converted into different code based on the Base64 encoding method.

After generating code corresponding to all the sub-images, the server can write each piece of code into the HTML code of the web page.

The server can write each piece of code into scripting language (JavaScript, JS) code included in the HTML code of the web page. In other words, the code corresponding to each sub-image is written into the JS code, and the JS code including each piece of code is written into the HTML code of the web page. As such, after receiving the HTML code of the web page, the terminal device can render a sub-image corresponding to the code corresponding to each sub-image to the web page by running the JS code included in the HTML code of the web page. Generally, when the image is displayed by using the HTML code of the web page, the image is displayed on the web page by using an image tag (<img> tag) in the HTML code. Therefore, when the terminal device runs the JS code, the JS code can further have each piece of code be written into the <img> tag in the HTML code of the web page, that is, the JS code can be used to write the code into the <img> tag.

After writing each piece of code into the JS code and writing the JS code into the HTML code of the web page, the server can use the HTML code, of the web page, that the JS code has been written into as new HTML code of the web page, and send the new HTML code to the terminal device in subsequent steps. In addition, the server can store the HTML code, of the web page that the JS code has been written into, so that when receiving another request dedicated for the web page subsequently, the server does not need to execute the steps of image division, encoding, and code writing, reducing running load of the server.

Still in the previous example, server A can first equally separate image x into four sub-images based on a length of image x: sub-image x1, sub-image x2, sub-image x3, and sub-image x4, as shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating division of image x into four sub-images, according to an implementation of the present application.

Afterwards, server A can generate code corresponding to each sub-image in the Base64 encoding method. For ease of description, further assume that a mapping relationship between each sub-image and code is shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1 Sub-image Code corresponding to the sub-image Sub-image x1 data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4QMZRXhpZgAAAgAAAAL . . . 1 Sub-image x2 data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4QMZRXhpZgAAAgAAAAL . . . 2 Sub-image x3 data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4QMZRXhpZgAAAgAAAAL . . . 3 Sub-image x4 data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4QMZRXhpZgAAAgAAAAL . . . 4

It can be seen from Table 1 that, each sub-image is one-to-one corresponds to each piece of code, and all pieces of code are different.

Finally, after generating the code corresponding to each sub-image, server A can determine a sorting sequence based on an up-down position relationship of each sub-image in image x, sequentially write the code corresponding to each sub-image into JS code, and write the JS code into HTML code of web page a. Because the sorting sequence of all the sub-images is sub-image x1, sub-image x2, sub-image x3, and sub-image x4, server A can write the code corresponding to each sub-image into the JS code of web page a in a sequence of data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4QMZRXhpZgAAAgAAAAL . . . 1, data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4 QMZRXhpZgAAAgAAAAL . . . 2, data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4QMZRXhpZgAAAgAAAAL . . . 3, and data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4QMZRXhpZgAAAgAAAAL . . . 4, and write the JS code into the HTML code of web page a.

S103: Send the HTML code to the terminal device, so that after receiving the HTML code, the terminal device displays each sub-image based on the code, corresponding to each sub-image, included in the HTML code.

In this implementation of the present application, the server is a server providing the web page. Therefore, after receiving the request that is dedicated for the web page and sent by the terminal device, and determining the HTML code of the web page, the server can send the HTML code of the web page to the terminal device. As such, after receiving the HTML code of the web page, the terminal device can run the HTML code of the web page to display the web page. For the code corresponding to each sub-image, the terminal device can run the JS code included in the HTML code of the web page to write the code into a corresponding <img> tag, and render the sub-image to the web page by using the <img> tag. Finally, when the code corresponding to each sub-image is rendered to the web page, the terminal device can fully display the image.

In the present application, when the terminal device sends the request dedicated for the web page to the server, and the server sends the HTML code of the web page to the terminal device, a communication channel is actually established between the terminal device and the server, and the communication channel is used to transmit the HTML code of the web page.

The image on the web page has been sent to the terminal device in a form of the code corresponding to each sub-image by using the HTML code, and for each piece of code, the terminal device writes the code into the corresponding <img> tag by running the JS code. Therefore, there is no invoking address of a sub-image in the <img> tag, and the terminal device does not need to send an invoking request by using the <img> tag, that is, no need to establish a communication channel. In other words, the terminal device does not need to establish a communication channel for obtaining each sub-image, thereby reducing a quantity of invoking requests sent by the terminal device, and further reducing electric power consumption of the terminal device.

Still in the previous example, assume that server A receives a request sent by a certain terminal device, for invoking web page a, server A can send the HTML code of web page a to the terminal device. After the terminal device receives the HTML code of web page a, for the code, corresponding to each sub-image included in the HTML code of the web page, the terminal device can run the JS code written into the HTML code of the web page, to write the code into the corresponding <img> tag, and eventually display the sub-image corresponding to the code on the terminal device by using the <img> tag. When pieces of code respectively corresponding to sub-image x1, sub-image x2, sub-image x3, and sub-image x4 are all rendered to web page a, the terminal device can fully display image x.

In the data processing method shown in FIG. 1, after the image on the web page is divided into several sub-images, by using the method for generating the code corresponding to each sub-image and writing each piece of code into the HTML code of the web page, the HTML code of the web page and the code corresponding to each sub-image can be jointly sent to the terminal device when the request dedicated for the web page of the terminal device is received. As such, it can be ensured that the terminal device can display the image without a need to wait until all image data is loaded, while a need for sending an invoking request by using a corresponding <img> tag and for establishing a communication channel for the terminal device to load each sub-image is alleviated, thereby reducing electric power consumption of the terminal device, and alleviating a problem that use efficiency of the terminal device is affected due to use time reduction caused by an increase of electric power consumption of the terminal device.

In addition, in step S102 in the present application, the code corresponding to each sub-image can be generated not only in the Base64 encoding method. The server can use other encoding methods to convert each sub-image into the corresponding code, provided that the code corresponding to each sub-image can be written into the JS code, and the terminal device can run the JS code included in the HTML code of the web page to render each sub-image to the web page, without a need to establish a communication channel. The present application imposes no limitation on which encoding method can be used.

Further, in step S102 in the present application, before dividing the image on the web page, the server can further determine whether space occupied by the image reaches a predetermined threshold. If yes, the server determines that the image is relatively large, a time needed by the terminal device to load the image is long, and the server needs to divide the image into several sub-images; or if not, the server determines that the image is relatively small and there is no need to divide the image. The threshold can be set based on experience by operating person.

Still further, the server can equally divide the image into several sub-images based on a length of the image, or equally divide the image into several sub-images based on a width of the image, or divide the image into several sub-images based on a predetermined amount of space (for example, if the predetermined amount of space is 200 kb, the server can divide the image into several sub-images with a size not greater than 200 kb). Certainly, the present application imposes no limitation on how the image is divided. For ease of description, the following uses an example in which the server horizontally divides the image into several equal sub-images for description.

In addition, in step S102 in the present application, when the server writes each piece of code into the HTML code of the web page, for the terminal device to sequentially load, the sub-images in a sequence of dividing the image into the sub-images, after receiving the HTML code of the web page, the server can further record a position of each sub-image in the image, determine a sorting sequence of the sub-images, and sequentially write the code corresponding to each sub-image into the JS code. As such, when the terminal device runs to the JS code afterwards, it can be ensured that the terminal device can display the sub-images in the sorting sequence, and the sub-images are displayed in positions of the sub-images in the image.

Further, when the server records the sorting sequence of the sub-images, the server can further record positions of the sub-images on the web page, in other words, determine the positions of the sub-images on the web page based on a position of the image on the web page and the positions of the sub-images in the image. In addition, the server writes the determined positions of the sub-images into the JS code, further ensuring that the positions of the sub-images displayed on the web page are correct.

It is worthwhile to note that steps of the method provided in this implementation of the present application shown in FIG. 1 can be performed by one device, or the method can be performed by different devices. For example, step S101 and step S102 can be performed by device 1, and step S103 can be performed by device 2. For another example, step S101 can be performed by device 1, and step S102 and step S103 can be performed by device 2, etc.

Based on the data processing process illustrated in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 3, an implementation of the present application further provides a data processing process executed by a terminal device accordingly.

FIG. 3 illustrates a data processing process, according to an implementation of the present application. The process includes the following steps:

S201: Send a request dedicated for a web page to a server.

Same as the existing technology, in this implementation of the present application, when a user browses a web page by using a terminal device, the user first needs to use the terminal device to send a request dedicated for the web page to a server providing the web page, so that after receiving the request, the server can determine HTML code of the web page based on the request, and send the HTML code of the web page to the terminal device. As such, the terminal device can display the web page based on the received HTML code of the web page that is returned by the server.

Therefore, in the present application, the terminal device can send the request dedicated for the web page to the server.

In addition, the terminal device can be a device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a notebook computer. When the device runs on a power supply (such as a mobile phone battery or a tablet computer battery) built in the device, a higher demand for reduced electric power consumption is imposed. Therefore, the terminal device mentioned in the present application is a device with a built-in power supply by default. Certainly, the present application imposes no limitation thereto, in other words, the terminal device can be a device that runs on electric energy provided by an external power supply.

Still further, the terminal device can use a browser application installed in the terminal device to send the request dedicated for the web page and receive the returned HTML code of the web page. Or, the terminal device can use an application, with a browser kernel, installed in the terminal device to send the request dedicated for the web page and receive the returned HTML code of the web page. The present application imposes no limitation on an application used by the terminal device to receive the HTML code of the web page. For ease of subsequent description, a link of the application in the terminal device is omitted in the present application, and that the terminal device receives the HTML code of the web page is directly used for illustration and description.

For example, assume that a certain user uses his/her own mobile phone c to browse a web page, and in this case, mobile phone c sends a request for invoking web page a to server A.

S202: Receive HTML code, of the web page that is returned by the server.

In this implementation of the present application, after the terminal device sends the request dedicated for the web page to the server, the terminal device can receive the HTML code, of the web page, returned by the server. Afterwards, the terminal device can display the web page on the terminal device by running the HTML code of the web page. The web page includes an image, and the HTML code of the web page can include code corresponding to each of several sub-images obtained by dividing the image.

The HTML code of the web page includes JS code, and code corresponding to the several sub-images is written into the JS code. Each piece of code can be code corresponding to each sub-image obtained by dividing one image, or can be code corresponding to a plurality of sub-images obtained by dividing a plurality of images, that is, in HTML of the web page, there is at least code corresponding to a plurality of sub-images obtained by dividing one image.

Further, if in the JS code, there is the code corresponding to the plurality of sub-images obtained by dividing the plurality of images, for each image, the JS code can further record a mapping relationship between an image identifier of the image and code corresponding to each sub-image obtained by dividing the image. In other words, based on the mapping relationship recorded in the JS code, code corresponding to sub-images obtained by dividing different images can be differentiated, as shown in Table 2.

TABLE 2 Image Image identifier Sub-image Code corresponding to the sub-image Image x 1 Sub-image x1 data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4QMZRXhp . . . 1 Sub-image x2 data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4QMZRXhp . . . 2 Sub-image x3 data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4QMZRXhp . . . 3 Image y 2 Sub-image y1 data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4DDURXhp . . . 1 Sub-image y2 data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4DDURXhp . . . 2 Image z 3 Sub-image z1 data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/ST6YSANA . . . 2 Sub-image z2 data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/ST6YSANA . . . 5

It can be seen from Table 2 that different images correspond to different image identifiers. Therefore, it can be determined, based on a mapping relationship between an image identifier and code corresponding to a sub-image, which image is divided into the sub-image. For ease of description, subsequent illustration is performed by using an example in which there is only code corresponding to each of several sub-images (for example, sub-image x1, sub-image x2, and sub-image x3) obtained by dividing one image (for example, image x) in the HTML code of the web page. Still in the previous example, assume that server A sends HTML code of web page a to mobile phone c, JS code is written into the HTML code of web page a, and the JS code includes the code corresponding to the several sub-images shown in Table 2.

S203: Render, for each piece of code, a sub-image corresponding to the code to the web page by running the HTML code of the web page.

In this implementation of the present application, after receiving the web page, the terminal device can run the HTML code of the web page, to display the web page on the terminal device. Because the HTML code of the web page includes the JS code, the terminal device also runs the JS code when running the HTML code of the web page. Therefore, for each piece of code included in the JS code, the terminal device can run the JS code to render a sub-image corresponding to the code to the web page.

For each piece of code, because the code is written into the JS code in the HTML code of the web page, the terminal device can run the JS code to establish an <img> tag corresponding to the code, write the code into the <img> tag, and afterwards render a sub-image corresponding to the code to the web page by using the <img> tag.

All pieces of code are sequentially written into the JS code in a sorting sequence. Therefore, when the terminal device runs the JS code, the terminal device can sequentially execute the above-mentioned process in the sequence of all the pieces of code in the JS code. In other words, the terminal device runs the JS code, establishes an <img> tag corresponding to one piece of code, and writes the code into the corresponding <img> tag. Finally, after rendering a sub-image corresponding to the code by using the <img> tag, the terminal device establishes an <img> tag corresponding to a next piece of code based on the sequence of all the pieces of code in the JS code, and renders a sub-image corresponding to the next piece of code to the web page, until sub-images corresponding to all the pieces of code in the JS code are rendered to the web page. In this case, the terminal device displays an image constituted by all the sub-images.

Further, if the JS code further records a position of a sub-image corresponding to each piece of code, the terminal device can further write the position of the sub-image into the <img> tag by running the JS code, so that the terminal device can render the sub-image corresponding to the code to a correct position on the web page by using the <img> tag.

Still in the previous example, assume that the JS code included in the HTML code of web page a includes the code shown in Table 2. When mobile phone c runs the HTML code of the web page a, an <img> tag corresponding to data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4QMZRXhp . . . 1 can be established by using the JS code. After sub-image x1 is rendered to web page a, <img> tags for pieces of sub-image code corresponding to sub-image x2 and sub-image x3 are sequentially established, and sub-image x2 and sub-image x3 are rendered to web page a. Processing is the same for image y and image z.

If only the code corresponding to sub-image x1 is used for description, for the code corresponding to sub-image x1, mobile phone c first establishes the corresponding <img> tag, and writes the code data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4QMZRXhp . . . 1 corresponding to sub-image x1 into the <img> tag. Content in the <img> tag can be <img width=“40” height=“30” src=“data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4QMZRXhp . . . 1”; style=“position:absolute; left:100px; top:100px;”/>, where style=“position:absolute; left:100px; top:100px indicates a distance from sub-image x1 to an upper edge of web page a and a distance from sub-image x1 to a left edge of web page a, namely, a position of sub-image x1 on web page a, when sub-image x1 is displayed on web page a. As such, mobile phone c can render sub-image x1 to a specified position on web page a by using the <img> tag.

Further, each sub-image is actually sent to the terminal device in a form of code. Therefore, when loading each sub-image on the web page, the terminal device only needs to render the code corresponding to each sub-image to the web page by using the JS code, without a need to establish a new communication channel for each sub-image or send an invoking request for invoking the sub-image, thereby greatly reducing electric power consumption of the terminal device.

It is worthwhile to note that, the steps in the method provided in the implementation of the present application illustrated in FIG. 3 are executed by one device.

The determination module 302 determines the code corresponding to each sub-image obtained by dividing the image; writes each piece of code into scripting language code, where the scripting language code includes JavaScript code; writes the scripting language code into the HTML code of the web page; and uses HTML code that the scripting language code has been written into as new HTML code of the web page.

The determination module 302 determines a sorting sequence of all the sub-images based on a position relationship between the sub-images in the image; and sequentially writes the code corresponding to each sub-image into the scripting language code based on the sorting sequence.

The data processing device shown in FIG. 4 can be located in one device, or in a system constituted by a plurality of devices.

Based on the data processing process illustrated in FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 5, an implementation of the present application further accordingly provides a data processing device.

The HTML code of the web page includes scripting language code, and the scripting language code includes the code corresponding to each of the several sub-images obtained by dividing the image; and the scripting language code includes JavaScript code.

The rendering module 403 runs the scripting language code included in the HTML code of the web page; and sequentially renders a sub-image corresponding to each piece of code written into the scripting language code to the web page by using the scripting language code.

The device can be located in a terminal device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or a personal computer.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a computer-implemented method 600 for processing image data of a webpage according to an implementation of the present disclosure. For clarity of presentation, the description that follows generally describes method 600 in the context of the other figures in this description. However, it will be understood that method 600 can be performed, for example, by any system, environment, software, and hardware, or a combination of systems, environments, software, and hardware, as appropriate. In some implementations, various steps of method 600 can be run in parallel, in combination, in loops, or in any order.

At 602 a server associated with a website receives a request for a webpage from a terminal device, where the webpage includes an image, and where the server stores a first set of HyperText Markup Language (HTML) code that is associated with the webpage. After 602, process 600 proceeds to 604.

At 604, the server divides the image into a number of sub-images. After 604, process 600 proceeds to 606.

At 606, the server determines a second set of HTML code associated with the webpage, where the second set of HTML code includes code corresponding to each sub-image. In some implementations, determining a second set of HTML code associated with the webpage includes generating code corresponding to each sub-image; determining a sorting sequence of the sub-images based on an up-down position relationship between the sub-images; sequentially writing the code corresponding to each sub-image into JavaScript (JS) code that is included in the first set of the HTML code based on the sorting sequence; and determining the second set of HTML code, where the second set of HTML code is generated by writing the JS code that includes the generated code corresponding to each sub-image into the first set of HTML code.

In some implementations, generating code corresponding to each sub-image includes generating Base64 code corresponding to the sub-image through a Base64 encoding method. In some implementations, the server stores the second set of HTML code. After 606, process 600 proceeds to 608.

At 608, the server transmits the second set of HTML code to the terminal device for sequential display of each sub-image on the terminal device.

In some implementations, after the terminal device receives the second set of HTML code, the process 600 further includes running, by the terminal device, the JS code included in the second set of HTML code to write the code corresponding to each sub-image into a corresponding image tag; and rendering each sub-image to the webpage by using the corresponding image tag. In some implementations, the image is fully displayed on the terminal device after each sub-image is rendered to the webpage. In some implementations, the terminal device sequentially renders each sub-image based on the sorting sequence. After 608, process 600 can stop.

A program can be stored in a portion of a file that holds other programs or data (for example, one or more scripts stored in a markup language document), in a single file dedicated to the program in question, or in multiple coordinated files (for example, files that store one or more modules, sub-programs, or portions of code). A computer program can be executed on one computer or on multiple computers that are located at one site or distributed across multiple sites and interconnected by a communication network.

Processors for execution of a computer program include, by way of example, both general- and special-purpose microprocessors, and any one or more processors of any kind of digital computer.
